Draining Thread (Remnant)

You open a wound on your body, shooting out a thread of blood between yourself and a creature within range. The creature must then succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 7d6 + the hemomancy cost as necrotic damage. If this damage brings the target to 0 hit points, heal for half of the hemomancy cost. 

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the damage increases by 2d6 for each slot level above 4th.
